With per-crtc locks modeset operations can run in parallel, and the cursor code uses the device-global evo master channel for hw frobbing. But the pageflip code can also sync with the master under some circumstances. Hence just wrap things up in a mutex to ensure that pushbuf access doesn't intermingle. The approach here is a bit overkill since the per-crtc channels used to schedule the pageflips could probably be used without this pushbuf locking, but I'm not familiar enough with the nouveau codebase to be sure of that.
